Q15.2: What mailing lists are there?

Mailing lists are unregulated, unmoderated, information sources in
which messages sent in by subscribers are posted out immediately and
individually to all other subscribers. Digests are listed in Q15.1.
Genetic Programming Mailing List
The GP community uses this list as a discussion forum, news exchange
and FAQ distribution channel, overseen by John Koza and James Rice at
Stanford.
o Admin requests: <genetic-programming-REQUEST@cs.stanford.edu>
o The anonymous FTP archive: ftp.cc.utexas.edu:/pub/genetic-
programming/ includes a lengthy, but "mostly interesting" FAQ by
James Rice on GP related subjects. A HTML version is accessible
at:
Tierra Mailing List
Thomas Ray's Tierra is discussed elsewhere (see Q4.1); here's how to
obtain Tierra electronically and get in contact with other users.
o Admin requests: <tierra-REQUEST@life.slhs.udel.edu>
o Anonymous FTP archive: tierra.slhs.udel.edu:/pub/ (tierra, almond,
beagle, etc.)
GA-Molecule mailing list
o Admin details: <ga-molecule-request@tammy.harvard.edu>
UK's Evolutionary-Computation mailing list
o Admin details: <evolutionary-computing-request@mailbase.ac.uk>
GEnetic Algorithm Research Student mailing list
Provides a forum for research students interested in GENETIC
ALGORITHMs.
o Admin requests: <gaphd-list-request@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>
GANN: Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks
This list will focus on the use of evolutionary algorithms (GENETIC
ALGORITHMs, GENETIC PROGRAMMING and their variants) in the
EXPLORATION of the design space of (artificial) neural network
architectures and algorithms. The list will be semi-moderated to
keep the signal to noise ratio as high as possible. (This list was
formerly known as the neuro-evolution e-mail list.)
o Admin requests/enquiries: gann-request@cs.iastate.edu
o Subscription requests to the admin address with Subject:

gattbl: Timetabling mailing list
This group is for people using GAs and other techniques for exam or
course scheduling for academic institutions. To subscribe, send email
to <ttp-request@cs.nott.ac.uk>.
Evolutionary Models in the Social Sciences
See Q10.8 for details.
Genetic Algorithms in Production Scheduling
The GASched list is for discussion of the use of GENETIC ALGORITHMs
on Production Scheduling Problems (only). Possible subjects for the
list include:
o GAs for job-shop scheduling theory,
o GAs for practical problem solving in industry,
o problem representation within the GENETIC ALGORITHM,
o combinatorial optimisation techniques for scheduling problems,
o results & effects of GA-based systems working in industry,
o techniques for improving PERFORMANCE,
o problem data,
or any other burning issues which come into GAs for production
scheduling.
To send an administration message (to subscribe, be removed, or if
you have a question about the list rather than *for* it), email
<gasched-owner@acse.sheffield.ac.uk> with your name and email
address, and you should hear back within a few days!
There is an Autopoiesis Email List for the discussion of the theory
of Autopoiesis of H. Maturana and F. Varela. Autopoiesis means self-
production and concerns self-organizing systems.
To join send a message containing the text: SUB AUTOPOIESIS to
